Things could go right in life, but they so rarely do. So, I go with the flow and laugh at my misadventures as often as possible. Laughing hurts a whole lot less than stabbing yourself in the eye with your knitting needle. I know, I've done both, literally - the latter was unintentional. I'm not a masochist you know.

We are not amused

As worried as I was about the dog sweater, it’s finished. Poor Sydney got stuck modelling (we were not amused, as you can see) since I lack a small dog to try it out on. The leg holes seemed to be in the wrong place for her, so I’m hoping that’s just an anatomical difference between dogs and cats. If it’s not, I’ve written everything down so I’ll know what to change on the follow up model. At least it didn’t take long to knit up, so if I do have to do it again, I won’t have to spend days on it. It actually took more time to figure out how many stitches to CO than to knit it since I was using a much fatter yarn than the pattern called for.Tonight I’m doing socks. At least I don’t have to think about those.
